Welcome to the joyful new generation of mobility.
With this groundbreaking new wheelchair, we have incorporated almost 25 years of experience across 95 countries, providing 1.5 million wheelchairs for free to people with disabilities in developing countries.
GEN 4 JOY marks a major leap forward in providing renewed dignity, independence, freedom, and joy for people living with disabilities in developing countries, who often lack access to safe, reliable, and comfortable mobility solutions.
GEN 4 JOY offers significant advances in transportability, durability, and comfort. It’s easier to distribute, more cost-effective, and thoughtfully designed to meet the real-world needs of our partners around the globe and the people they serve.
